Haven't tried that particular brand, but I've been very happy with Adam's Polishes V.R.T. Just out of curiosity, what store carries the brand you mentioned?

I can't say hands down yet, however it is the best I have tried so far from an auto parts store...

I haven't ever seen it anywhere that I know of or have I known anyone that uses it. It sounds like I may need to try it.

Ill give it a try. I have a test panel for this stuff on my roof of my house, where I compare several products side by side. Ive tested lots of stuff that people swear by and found their claims to be less than factual. Lots of people swear by Aerospace 303, and it didn't last two days on my test panel after one day of rain. the endurance lasted two week through multiple rain showers. Aerospace 303 is great for any interior application but don't put it on anything outside the car.
I was never impressed with any Eagle products I've tried but will give this a try.

I like Adams VRT, keeps all my rubber , plastics parts looking new . Quick drying time .Dry to the touch and it smells good . It's expensive though. 24.00 a bottle but does last a long time.

Zaino is the best I've found hands down. Dust don't stick and also works on all the black pieces. Love the zaino shine.

This is what I have been using lately. Works great like stated. Might give this new one a try though and see how it is. Would be nice to have something I can buy local that I like. Thanks for the tip.

Zaino Tire shine here. (nice dry shine, no fling off, and does not collect dust).

I'm happy with what I have. No reason to change. My last bottle of Zaino lasted me 1.5 yrs ++ years, and I put it on almost every weekend.

I hear good things about Adam's VRT as well.
